[Editor’s note: Yesterday, Gordon and I reported what the world’s media knows but will not say – that the Israeli airstrikes on Syria were a complete failure where no targets were hit and the Israeli planes failed to breach the Syrian air defences, rather, they flew straight into a hail of fire, shit themselves and dropped their bombs so they could make a run for the safety of Israeli airspace – they could run much faster without the encumbrance of heavy weapons loads.

The official line has the Israelis hitting a dozen targets and destroying Iranian and Syrian assets, all a lie; a desperate and pathetic attempt to prop up the ailing Netanyahu regime as it teeters on the brink of collapse due to the criminal investigations into Netanyahu and his wife which are drawing ever closer to the point of arresting and impeaching the Israeli leader.

Netanyahu launched these airstrikes in a pitiful attempt to draw attention away from the investigations that look set to destroy him.

Bibi tried to please his hardcore supporters who are those who believe Israeli foreign policy, especially towards the Arabs, is best carried out by high explosives. The failure of these airstrikes leaves Bibi in an ever more desperate situation, beset by domestic woes and seemingly unable to win favour by bombing some Arabs, which has always been highly popular with the right-wing Likudniks he relies on for support.

Now we are in a situation where Netanyahu is a desperate man who knows his time in power is likely drawing to a close; his attempt to use military force to curry favour has backfired in a major way and worst of all, he has lost the ability to strike his Arab neighbours with impunity.

Will an increasingly desperate Bibi try the military option again, but this time with weapons that cannot be so easily defeated?

I am speaking of tactical nukes, of which Israel possesses hundreds and they have lots of cruise and ballistic missiles to carry them, missiles with sufficient range to hit anywhere in Syria.

Of course, Israel isn’t the only one who is so armed, Syria’s ally Iran also has missiles with the range to hit Israel, thousands of them in fact; add to those the thousands of short range missiles possessed by Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel is something of a sitting duck.

Then there are the Russians, who possess enough missiles to turn Israel into a wasteland many times over; all of this is without resorting to the use of nukes, which might be possible, should Israel open that Pandora’s Box by using them first.

Worryingly, Netanyahu is crazy enough and will likely soon be desperate enough to actually resort to use of Israel’s nuclear arsenal to save his own hide. Putin will know this and the Russian military hate Israel, points which we hope the IDF generals have made to Bibi.

Perhaps the craziness of the risks Bibi is running will cause the Israeli political and military leaders to take action and remove him before he can start a war that would lead to Israel’s destruction? For the sake of the lives of tens of millions of Jews, Arabs and others, we can but hope… Ian]

The Iranian security chief has commented on the Israeli airstrikes in Syria on February 10, which triggered retaliatory fire from Syrian air defense.

“The Syrian nation proved this time that it will respond to any act of aggression, as the era of hit and run is over,” Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council told reporters in Tehran on Sunday, speaking on the sidelines of rallies marking the victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

The official went on by responding to Israel’s Defense Forces’ report of attacks against “additional Iranian targets in Syria,” referring to an alleged Iranian drone in the area.

“The claim by the Zionists (that they have carried out sorties) to damage Iranian bases in Syria is a lie,” Ali Shamkhani stated, adding that Iran had an “advisory, not a military presence” in Syria, the security official reiterated, denying Israeli allegations that its warplanes had scrambled in reaction to an Iranian drone.

Shamkhani explained that no forces would fly military jets to hit a drone.

Israel’s Attack in Syria

Responding to the strike, Syrian air defense systems had reportedly opened fire on Israel.

Again we will hear the same rhetoric as Israel once again instigates an aggressive military act. Gaming theory was invented in Israel. They own the media. They know exactly how dumbed down and gullible the American public really is. Once again we will be reminded how Israel is the only friend the US has in the middle east and how Israel is a peaceful nation surrounded by barbaric enemies. All we need is another chemical attack or false flag to set the stage where Israel creates the problem, steps aside and American blood and money flows into Iran while the public gobbles up another false official narrative. Kissinger rightly said Americans love war like a kid gobbles up candy.

The Achilles heal of all aircraft is the plume of hot exhaust they spew out — Even a 200 million dollar “Stealth” jet with the purported radar cross-section of an insect (LOL!) pumps out a river of hot gases for a shoulder-fired Stinger to follow.

Up to now aircraft have been able stay out of range of the little shoulder-fired missiles that defeated the Soviets in Afghanistan by flying high — the planes above 10,000 ft have always had to worry instead about Air-to-Air missiles and large and complicated ground launched missile systems.

How long before the little shoulder-fired heat-seeking missile launchers are fitted with wings and fly above the clouds as deadly little undetectable plastic drones? There will be no escaping their reach by flying higher then. Cheap, simple, mass-producible, easy to operate, portable and effective — they could be quickly deployed to form a loitering three-dimensional undetectable aerial minefield that cannot be escaped by flying higher.

The marriage of shoulder-fired IR homing missiles and drones is a no-brainer — I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already.

We are reading that an Israeli helicopter was dispatched to counter a drone. The helicopter was shot down. In retaliation, F15s and F16s were scrambled to teach the Syrian a “how dare you lesson.” Then on entering Surian air space the radar guided artillery was too scary causing the chosen people to drop their ordinances, drop a load in their pants and race each other home. Sounds like a natural Israeli response to a matching force. Israel NEVER takes on an equal adversary, just unarmed women and children.

Of course not! Syria’s so-called right to defend itself is a violation of Israel’s right to expand its territory to the Euphrates. Syria’s so-called right to defend itself is therefore an existential threat to Israel.

Doncha read The Bible? God made Abraham a promise, and it is up to Israel to make God keep it.

Your question should be, “Doesn’t Israel have a right to defend itself?”

Excuse me — I need to take a shower. Thinking like an Israeli makes me feel dirty.

We beleave , that the gang in hellaviv is arrogant and reincarnation of evils. Their self confidence however was broken , once on behalf of the Crimea, than on behalf of fleeing ISIS and now to face a fire power, which capture their Jew Jets. Yes these arrogant were the same one, who fought the lord in heaven and the will fight his representative ( human ) on this earth.
It is their evil spirite , suppermacy and Davidian war spirite , to guide them direction hell, it is not Iran and not Libanon, these nations are god lovers and lovely. But what would you do , if you oppose criminals , Jungel LAW and genocide on daily bases ? I would send the Jews for that directly into the 7 th deep region of Hell and be aware they will very soon marching that path ! It is their fate !

Thought we were singing from the same hymn book but why is my voice being deliberately silenced? Am I too bass for your a-choired tastes or are you prejudiced against the tenor of my satire to allow others hear me out? Was about to say, glad to see you’re back but worry you would assume, glad to see your back. Humor me!

On a lighter note, Chris Paul, ancestors of mine, contemporaries of Coleridge, happened to live in Porlock, the town of residence of the eponymous ‘man from Porlock’, whose visit interrupted and messed up Coleridge’s inspiration.

I like to think one of my folk could have been the culprit. I have an ’embarras de richesse’ of nefarious. anti-Establishment trouble-makers, terrorists and assorted blackguards in my ancestry.

Those crazy Khazarian Jewish Mafia downed a Russian airplane with passengers at Moscow today. You called it Ian. The KJM are insane and think they can act with impunity. Their biggest asset is noboby wants to act at their level of insanity. The KJM needs closure; they need to go away so that humanity can progress.

No one wants to act at their level of inhumanity. Killing natural born killers is an act of mercy towards mankind. There will come a day when mankind will banish them.all to one place where they will be judged for their crimes against humanity. Why do you think the lie of Israel was implanted in their minds? Israel is not a country for the zionists. It is rather a gathering place before final judgement. Do they deserve it? Is the only question?

Re: Khalif Talaat: They are going there already. It’s Chilean Patagonia, where IDF child-killlers go on leave, having built 450,000 bungalows. I do hope the long-suffering Chileans can cope with their boorish ways. When the Plantation is struck down, maybe the whole million or three Zionist scum will decamp there. WITHOUT their nukes!

It is good to see Ian, the Cogitater of Coleridge Country, back on the job. I was concerned that Ian had lost the plot as Coleridge did in the famous unfinished poem. A traveller knocked on the door and interupted his frame of mind.

“In Xanadu didst Kubla Khan, an ancient pleasure dome decree, and alph the sacred river ran, through caverns measureless to man, down to a sunless sea”.

I once read “The Rhyme of The Ancient Mariner” to a Wing Commander Navigator who started on Bristol Blenheims over the North Sea in 1940 and finished on Hudsons doing pathfinder work ove Rabaul late in WW2. Got a couple of DFCs and a DSO and flew a remarkable 190 missions. They put two Pounds in the jar when they joined the squadron and drank it when someone “Bought The Farm”. He was a long term alcoholic. He wept as I read.

You are all too right the man is mad as a hatter. Yet he was secretly recorded saying to the effect that if he fails in his mission to destroy the US some one of the same cloth will be chosen to replace him. What’s he to lose with a nuclear option if that’s in his mission statement.
